The Rocket Science Group has signed the Save Harbor Agreement and is therefore bound to the so-called Safe Harbor Principles (principles that enable European organizations to legally share individual-related data with organizations in the U.S.).

If you have registered for our newsletter, your e-mail address and preferred language will be stored with MailChimp. Besides that, no additional personal data is stored/transferred. MailChimp will not pass this personal data to any third party but if there exists a valid judicial claim.
